CompositionLupisit-M 500 Tablet is used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults to achieve better blood sugar control throughout the day. By keeping glucose levels within a healthy range, it helps reduce the risk of diabetic complications such as kidney disease, nerve damage, and heart disease. It is particularly useful for managing blood sugar levels after meals.
This medication contains Sitagliptin, a DPP-4 inhibitor, and Metformin, a biguanide. Sitagliptin works by increasing the levels of natural substances (incretins) that signal the pancreas to release more insulin and the liver to reduce glucose production. Metformin helps the body use insulin more effectively and further reduces glucose production in the liver. This combined approach helps control blood sugar levels through multiple mechanisms.
Take this tablet twice daily with meals as prescribed by your doctor to help reduce the risk of stomach upset. It is important to continue with a balanced diet and regular exercise while taking this medicine. Inform your doctor if you have any history of pancreatitis or kidney problems. Seek medical advice immediately if you experience severe abdominal pain or persistent vomiting.
